Fun, fabrics, florals and fab fashion fits by local sewists – what a way to spend a day!

The @LibertyFabrics Showcase hosted by @2GreenZebras and @Regent_Street_Fabrics in Brisbane/Meanjin was a spectacular event. We learned the history of the iconic Liberty Fabrics from two legends, Mary-Ann Dunkley (Head of Design) and Anna Buruma (Archive Director), browsed stalls bursting with Liberty delights and cheered on our local sewist pals on the runway with the @StyleArc Fashion Parade. A little biased shoutout to our Sewing Manager Laura who graced the catwalk with her gorgeous make (check the bag and shoes!). Well done to all involved. πŸ‘πŸΌ

Melbourne/Naarm – it’s your turn this weekend. We can’t wait to see what our Southern friends create for the event.

Secret pjs all day everyday!

How sweet is this version of our Samford Set pattern - created in collab with Lindsey of @SewToGrow 😍

From @Claire.Creates.Clothes:

🟀🟣🟒 Colour spot blocking pregnancy friendly set 🟒🟣🟀

I wanted some #secretpyjamas that I can wear on the couch when I’m pregnant and after for breastfeeding, with a top that I can wear out of the house. Welcome the #PeppermintSamfordSet 

I made the Samford set top in a size F, one size up from my current bust and it’s the perfect amount of room for my expanding tummy, and will hopefully not be crazy oversized after pregnancy. I used a spotted linen that used to be considered good fabric, blocked with a organic linen sheet that was gifted to me for the sole purpose of being fabric by the lovely @heather_steenholdt 

The top came together super quickly and has already had lots of wear - couch, dinner and work β˜‘οΈ I even attached the buttons within a week of starting the project, who am I?!

I already had the shorts in the rust linen but never wear them because I don’t like the length or shape at all - they were a pants pattern that I just made shorter. So I cut them to have an inseam of 2.5” and added a 1.5 length ruffle cut at 3” in the contrast spot linen and love them so much more already. Although the shorts will now just be reserved for in house.

I’ve already planned 2 more Samford sets, but will size down to get more post pregnancy wear. And will tackle the pants!

Special thanks to Laura at @peppermintmagazine for sending me the Samford set instructions, you motivated me to put the buttons on before the baby actually arrives! 😁
